Title |
Early Medieval utilised and decorated stone, possibly a slick-stone or linen-smoother |
||
Description |
English: Utilised and decorated stone, possibly a slick-stone or linen-smoother of 9th or 10th century date
The stone is domed with a flat base and has a maximum diameter of 97.93mm and a height of 51.35mm. The stone is a quartz conglomerate. The top of the stone has been decorated with an oval ring with dimensions: 43.5mm x 37.8mm (internal diameter: 12.3 – 13.9mm). Analysis using a scanning electron microscope indicated that the inlay is composed of calcium carbonate and red ochre. The decoration has been inlaid into a recessed channel in the stone, formed by polishing. The base of the stone displays evidence of rubbing or polishing, consistent with its use as a slick-stone. The stone weighs 603.6g. |
